Please submit any prayer requests to me, “Annie’s Stew” at apaslo atsign hotmail dot com. Prayer
requests are generally removed after four weeks unless we receive an update.

Prayer Requests:
7/8 – Emmie asked for prayers. Her husband is having a pacemaker implanted on Tuesday. She asks for
prayers for a successful procedure, a full recovery, and improved energy and function.
7/22 Update – Emmie’s husband’s pacemaker surgery went well and he recovered quickly. His doctor
has suggested quite a few medications, which may not all be appropriate, so they plan to get a second
opinion on that.
7/13 – FenelonSpoke requested prayers for Dr. M and his medical team, for his upcoming heart surgery.
7/14 – Inogame asked for prayers for health for his wife and her developing condition. He also sends
thanks for the Horde’s prayers for his wife in the past.
7/15 – Polliwog asked for prayers for her son (age 23) who is suddenly losing weight and might have
diabetes. However, his son will not see a doctor or even discuss the subject. He also could be depressed
– he has been ghosting his fiancé. Prayers for his fiancé (who is understandably hurt) and for him, that
he would let people help him.
7/15 – Vmom asked for prayers for her husband, that God may lead him to our Lord Jesus Christ.
7/15 – Coelacanth sent thanks for the prayers of the Horde for his son Cam, who has returned to the
family and has graduated from a very tough Masters program. However, he was recently diagnosed with
POTS (Positional Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome). His balance is off and he gets winded on a short
flight of stairs. He has faith that this is all still part of God’s plan.
8/5 Update – His condition is improving, although he is still limited. Found out that his neat little
apartment was grossly contaminated with several types of mold which may have contributed to his
condition. His new job is going well.
7/22 – Donna&&&&& would appreciate prayers, as she found out she has breast cancer. It was caught
early and is slow-growing, so she is optimistic.
8/5 Update – Her lumpectomy surgery is scheduled for August 16.
7/22 – Dash my lace wigs posted that she and her husband could use some prayers. He had an incident
involving too much drink, too many stairs, too much anger, and The Law. He is on court-ordered
sobriety, and she thanks Jesus for that, but sees a long and difficult recovery ahead. She prays that he
succeeds, and that she will have the strength to stand with him through it.
8/5 – Thanks to all who continue to pray for them; her husband has 3 weeks sober. Thank you, Lord.

7/24 – The DMV MGC is requesting Moron prayers that strength, endurance, and peace may be granted
to blaster, Sra blaster, and her sister, as they face a rough family situation that several others among the
horde are currently facing as well as others that have already faced, or will eventually, face. Sra blaster’s
mother is not doing well either physically or emotionally and is also suffering from
dementia/Alzheimer’s. She is being cared for by both her daughters right now in Florida and very
dependent upon them but needs healing and home care (which is hard to come by in Florida). Prayers
for her recovery and ability to resume some level of independent living would be appreciated.
7/29 – Village Idiot’s Apprentice updated the Horde on the good news of his dad’s recovery. On 7/22, he
was non-verbal and incapable of controlled muscle movement. He could still communicate with facial
expressions and his eyes. On 7/29, he packed up his walker, folded and loaded his clothes and
announced he was ready to go home. It looks like he had sepsis that knocked him loopy, as well as the
UTI.
7/29 – Thefritz asked for prayers for his son-in-law and his daughter, P.R.T and C.G.T. His son-in-law
found a lump in a testicle and the doctors have ordered surgery. They have been trying to get pregnant
and recently miscarried. They have been married less than two years, so this has left them fearful for his
life and a future with biological children. Thefritz asks, “Dear Lord, please bring healing and calm to
them. Give them strength together to deal with this. In Jesus’ name, I pray.” He also thanks the Horde in
advance for their healing prayers.
8/3 – Tonypete asked for prayers for his friend Mike, who suffers from bone cancer and the disease has
reached the end stages. Mike is very low and probably cannot hang on much longer. Prayers are also
requested for his dear wife Judy. She has been a magnificent caregiver throughout Mike’s troubles. She
is terrified that the final days have arrived and, as a very private person, it is very difficult for her to
share her worries with anyone.
8/3 – Goddessoftheclassroom asked for prayers. She said she is hurting so much, on the fourth
anniversary of her elder son’s death.
8/4 – San Franpsycho updated the Horde on his buddy Paul’s medical status. So far, all treatments are
ineffective and his tumor remains inoperable. He is a candidate for a drug trial at Mt. Sinai and they
hope to hear soon if he was accepted. So far he is hanging in there!
8/5 – Screaming in digital heard that her sister-in-law’s mother is in ER with breathing problems. Prayers
are appreciated.
8/5 – Grammie Winger said she would appreciate any prayers for her son.
8/5 – Mindful Webworker had some requests: MiladyJo has her first hip replacement surgery scheduled
for the end of August. Praying it all goes well and she’ll be out of pain. While they were repairing
GoodsonM’s busted leg, they saw heart problems. The cardiologist told him if he’d get his blood
pressure down and lose some weight, he should be okay. So far he has dropped a bunch of weight,
which is encouraging. Prayers for peace and happiness for Daughter and her husband. With MiladyJo

and GoodsonM both being somewhat in capacitated, Daughter has been a huge help to them (driving,
dog care, etc.) SonC, his wife, and their two kids (oldest just turned 6) remain estranged – and strange.
No visits or contact for almost 2 years.
8/5 – RedMindBlueState provided an update on his buddy’s wife. Her cancer is stage 3. The surgery
went well, but she’s in for a lot of chemo over the next 6 months. Thank you for all the prayers.
8/6 – Cybersmythe requests prayers for Parnell to recover from his cancer.

 Romans 8:26-27
26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but
the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows
the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.
